Shower tray repair near Marton

Shower tray repair in Marton without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Marton: your questions answered

Is it messy?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work in Marton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Marton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When to call us in Marton

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
