About our shower tray repair in Marden
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and a crack across the base, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Questions from Marden
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Marden?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Marden and the rest of Herefordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Marden
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Marden and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
