DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Marldon
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Marldon.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

What we cannot put right

Materials we work on in Marldon
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
