Shower tray repair at your home in Marlborough
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and a dull, stained or worn surface, across ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
FAQs for Marlborough
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, 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 damage the floor below.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
