Trusted shower tray repair in Markby

Shower tray repair in Markby, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Markby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we are called out for in Markby

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Markby

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Markby?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Markby.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Markby. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Markby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
