Shower tray repair at your home in Mayfield

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and staining and dullness across the tray.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mayfield as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Mayfield: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Mayfield. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Mayfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Mayfield get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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