How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Thundridge: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
If you are in Thundridge and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
