Shower tray repair at your home in Maer
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Maer
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Maer
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maer as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in Maer
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Maer clients choose us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour-matched on site
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
