About our shower tray repair in East Melbury
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Melbury as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What affects the price in East Melbury
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

East Melbury questions
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes East Melbury. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you come to East Melbury?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to East Melbury for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
