Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Fowlmere questions
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Are there extra charges for Fowlmere?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Fowlmere and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Fowlmere
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Movement when you stand on it
- A damaged area around the waste
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
