How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Marhamchurch

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Common reasons people in Marhamchurch contact us include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Questions from Marhamchurch

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Marhamchurch?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Marhamchurch and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repairing versus replacing in Marhamchurch

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
