Shower tray repair at your home in Malkin's Bank

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

What affects the price in Malkin's Bank

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Our hiring checklist

Malkin's Bank: your questions answered

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire East?

Across the UK, and that includes Malkin's Bank. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you come to Malkin's Bank?

We do. We send a technician to Malkin's Bank for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Malkin's Bank

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
