Shower tray repair near Gamlingay

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Gamlingay: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SG19 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gamlingay. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gamlingay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally 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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
