DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we’re called out for in Marlingford

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Marlingford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Marlingford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Marlingford: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Marlingford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
