Shower tray repair in Tring without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about damage from a refit or building work and a cracked shower tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Tring
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tring.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
