Shower tray repair in Marshgate, 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 cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Do you need shower tray repair in Marshgate?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marshgate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.

Questions from Marshgate

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PL32 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
