About our shower tray repair in Shaftenhoe End
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Shaftenhoe End
Your questions about shower tray repair in Shaftenhoe End
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Shaftenhoe End?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shaftenhoe End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Shaftenhoe End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
When to call us in Shaftenhoe End
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
