Shower tray repair for Southoe homes

Shower tray repair in Southoe, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

If you’re in Southoe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

Common questions in Southoe

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Southoe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cambridgeshire.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What information do you need?

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

Landlord and trade work in Southoe

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Do you need shower tray repair in Southoe?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Common reasons people in Southoe contact us include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
