Shower Tray Repair in Marlesford
Damaged shower tray in Marlesford? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
About our shower tray repair in Marlesford
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and damage around the waste, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Marlesford
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the whole UK

Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price

Marlesford: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
