How we handle shower tray repair in Grantchester
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Grantchester
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Questions from Grantchester
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Grantchester?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Grantchester. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Grantchester, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
