Advice
About our shower tray repair in Great Sampford
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlord and trade work in Great Sampford
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Sampford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common questions in Great Sampford
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
