Common questions in Marholm

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Repairing versus replacing in Marholm

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When to call us in Marholm

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What affects the price in Marholm

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Marholm, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
