How we handle shower tray repair in Rickmansworth
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Questions from Rickmansworth
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Rickmansworth and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Should you replace it?
