Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
When to call us in Watford
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Watford
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
