DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Shower tray repair at your home in Hertingfordbury
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and chipped corners or rims.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
What we’re called out for in Hertingfordbury
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Hertingfordbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
