Trusted shower tray repair in Marpleridge

Shower tray repair at your home in Marpleridge

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

How it works

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

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Marpleridge questions

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Marpleridge clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders

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

If you manage property in Marpleridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Marpleridge

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
