DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we handle shower tray repair in Marsden

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and a damaged area around the waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Marsden

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
