Shower tray repair in Watford without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Watford
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes 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.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice

What we’re called out for in Watford
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A tray that flexes
- Damage around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Watford
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Most clients in Watford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
