Shower tray repair at your home in Widford
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 ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and cracks running from the waste.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work 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.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Widford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Widford
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common questions in Widford
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot

- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste

Repairs by material
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 heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
