- A cracked shower tray
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips on the edges
- Damage around the waste

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from St Albans
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in St Albans and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
