Shower tray repair near Malpas

Shower tray repair in Malpas, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a crack across the base.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Malpas?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We make sure 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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

Malpas: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Malpas. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What affects the price in Malpas

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Malpas. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
