Shower Tray Repair for Mail homes
Shower tray repair in Mail without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
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.
Common questions in Mail
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
All of the Shetland Islands, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Mail
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mail. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
