Shower tray repair in King's Walden without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and a crack across the base.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Signs you need shower tray repair in King's Walden
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in King's Walden
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes King's Walden. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
