Shower tray repair for Marley homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Marley

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Marley

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Marley

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Marley

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Marley

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
