Shower tray repair at your home in Ickleford
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and a crack across the base.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Ickleford
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What affects the price in Ickleford
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ickleford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ickleford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
