Trusted shower tray repair in Tilbrook

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Tilbrook

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

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

Common questions in Tilbrook

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Tilbrook?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tilbrook and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cambridgeshire.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tilbrook use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan

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 isn’t visible.

Do you need shower tray repair in Tilbrook?

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Tilbrook, and we will reply with a fixed price.
