About our shower tray repair in Rushden
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and chips on the edges.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Repair or replace in Rushden?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, 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 it’s worth repairing early.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rushden: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Do you need shower tray repair in Rushden?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A cracked shower tray
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
What affects the price in Rushden
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Most clients in Rushden get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
