Trusted shower tray repair in Marley Hill

Do you need shower tray repair in Marley Hill?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is.

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marley Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Marley Hill questions

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you cover Marley Hill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Marley Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Marley Hill?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
