Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sleapshyde
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
What we’re called out for in Sleapshyde
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sleapshyde
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sleapshyde. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
