About our shower tray repair in Trumpington
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Repairing versus replacing in Trumpington
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Questions from Trumpington
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
