Shower tray repair in Maer, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a dull, stained or worn surface, across stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Maer. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Questions from Maer

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Maer is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Do you work in Maer?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Are there extra charges for Maer?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
