Local shower tray repair for Hitchin: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hitchin. The price reflects:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
About our shower tray repair in Hitchin
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Hitchin
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Landlord and trade work in Hitchin
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
