Shower tray repair in Gamlingay Great Heath without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and chips or cracks by the plughole.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Gamlingay Great Heath and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Gamlingay Great Heath
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gamlingay Great Heath. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Gamlingay Great Heath get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan.

- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
