Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Your questions about shower tray repair in St Ives
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you cover St Ives?
We do. Technicians travel to St Ives from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
Across the UK, and that includes St Ives. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
When to call us in St Ives
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included

- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
