  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Shower tray repair in Coltsfoot Green, done in place

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. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Coltsfoot Green: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you come to Coltsfoot Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Coltsfoot Green. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coltsfoot Green

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
