Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Kidmore End
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your RG4 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Kidmore End. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
