Shower tray repair in Babcary, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Babcary. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in Babcary
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Babcary questions
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
