Landlords, agents and businesses in Histon
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Histon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
How we handle shower tray repair in Histon
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. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches, in stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What we are called out for in Histon
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips on the edges
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
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.
Common questions in Histon
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Histon?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What affects the price in Histon
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Histon. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What else we do in Histon
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
