Shower tray repair at your home in Ely
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Fixed prices from your pictures

What we are called out for in Ely
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips on the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- Who will actually do the work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Ely questions
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ely?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
