Shower tray repair for Martock homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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

How we handle shower tray repair in Martock

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Martock and across Somerset.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Martock

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Martock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Martock use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

What we work on

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

FAQs for Martock

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Martock?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price
