About our shower tray repair in Marston Moretaine

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bedford Borough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Do you need shower tray repair in Marston Moretaine?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price

FAQs for Marston Moretaine

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for Marston Moretaine?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your MK43 postcode.

When can you do it?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally 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. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
