Shower tray repair in Markland Hill without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
When to call us in Markland Hill
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
