How we handle shower tray repair in Winchmore Hill
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Winchmore Hill as everywhere else we work.

What we’re called out for in Winchmore Hill
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Cracks running from the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What affects the price in Winchmore Hill
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Winchmore Hill questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
