About our shower tray repair in Cambridge
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 screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cambridge. The price depends on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- 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.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, 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. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
