Shower Tray Repair in Horseheath
Shower tray repair across Horseheath and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Common questions in Horseheath
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cambridgeshire.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Horseheath
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
- A damaged area around the waste
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
