How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Great Chesterford. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Chesterford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Great Chesterford
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Chesterford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Great Chesterford
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
