Shower tray repair in Comberton, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a cracked shower tray.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Comberton as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Comberton?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What we’re called out for in Comberton

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Comberton: your questions answered

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you work in Comberton?

We do. We send a technician to Comberton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
