About our shower tray repair in Swavesey
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Swavesey
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Swavesey, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Questions from Swavesey
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
