Shower tray repair in Ickleton without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Common questions in Ickleton
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover Ickleton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ickleton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
