Shower Tray Repair in Throcking
Damaged shower tray in Throcking? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Shower tray repair in Throcking without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and scuffs and light scratches, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Throcking and across Hertfordshire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Throcking
For anyone letting property in or around Throcking, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What we’re called out for in Throcking
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

What else we do in Throcking
Throcking: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Throcking
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Throcking get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
