About our shower tray repair in Kentford
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and movement when you stand on it, across enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kentford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

FAQs for Kentford
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Kentford. Prices don’t change with location.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Kentford?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Kentford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Kentford and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- 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 the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
