Common questions in Matley

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Shower tray repair in Matley, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Matley

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Matley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Matley

If you manage property in Matley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
