Shower tray repair in Widford, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What affects the price in Widford
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Widford. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Widford: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you cover Widford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Widford. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we’re called out for in Widford
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
