How we handle shower tray repair in Mackerye End
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and a cracked shower tray.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Mackerye End
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Mackerye End included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Mackerye End?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Do you need shower tray repair in Mackerye End?
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
