Shower tray repair at your home in Malpas
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit, across enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Malpas
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again

Questions from Malpas
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Malpas. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
There’s 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 reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Malpas
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Malpas
Letting agents frequently 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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
