- The surface is refinished to match.

Shower tray repair in Marley, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Marley
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Marley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Marley. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What affects the price in Marley
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Marley
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace in Marley?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
