Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Marsh Common questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Common problems we fix in Marsh Common

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
