About our shower tray repair in Pidley
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Repairing versus replacing in Pidley
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Pidley. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Pidley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

What else we do in Pidley
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Do you come to Pidley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pidley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Pidley?

Are there extra charges for Pidley?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When to call us in Pidley
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
