When to call us in Hinxton

Hinxton questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you work in Hinxton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hinxton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hinxton. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hinxton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
