Shower tray repair near Martin Mill

Shower tray repair in Martin Mill without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Martin Mill

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months

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 cause damage underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. 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’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Martin Mill

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
