Shower tray repair in Thriplow, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When to call us in Thriplow
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Thriplow customers choose us

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
