About our shower tray repair in Chesterton
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Chesterton
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Chesterton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When to call us in Chesterton
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chesterton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
