Shower tray repair near Waterbeach

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Shower tray repair in Waterbeach without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole, across acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Waterbeach questions

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

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.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Waterbeach?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
