Shower tray repair near Sawtry

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from Sawtry

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Sawtry, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Sawtry

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we’re called out for in Sawtry

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Sawtry

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
