What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Do you need shower tray repair in Marston?

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for these signs:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

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

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
