Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Broughton, Cambridgeshire
Shower tray repair in Broughton without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broughton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Shower tray repair in Broughton without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
