Shower tray repair in Fulbourn

Shower tray repair in Fulbourn, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a damaged area around the waste.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Common questions in Fulbourn

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fulbourn

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fulbourn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Fulbourn

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Fulbourn

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
