About our shower tray repair in Marks Tey

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our pricing.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

Landlord and trade work in Marks Tey

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marks Tey use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Marks Tey

Do you cover Marks Tey?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Marks Tey. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Marks Tey included. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we’re called out for in Marks Tey

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Marks Tey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Marks Tey, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
