Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Watford, Northamptonshire
Shower tray repair across Watford and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Shower tray repair in Watford without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Watford
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
