Need shower tray repair in Letchworth?

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Letchworth questions

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you work in Letchworth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Letchworth. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Letchworth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in Letchworth

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Letchworth?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Letchworth. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Letchworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

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 it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
