Shower tray repair in Welwyn Garden City without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and a cracked shower tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Welwyn Garden City and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

FAQs for Welwyn Garden City
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Welwyn Garden City?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. 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.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel

What else we do in Welwyn Garden City
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
