What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Repair or replace in Great Barford?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Barford
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Great Barford?
We do. We send a technician to Great Barford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
If you’re in Great Barford and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
