How we handle shower tray repair in Cottenham
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste, in ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Do you need shower tray repair in Cottenham?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
