Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Ellington, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Shower tray repair in Ellington, done in place
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. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic

Landlord and trade work in Ellington
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
