How we handle shower tray repair in Rush Green
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rush Green and across Hertfordshire.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What else we do in Rush Green
When to call us in Rush Green
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
