Shower tray repair near Marley

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’re 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.

Shower tray repair in Marley without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and a crack across the base.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Choosing a repair company

Marley: your questions answered

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do you cover Marley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Marley. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, 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 will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Marley. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
