Shower tray repair at your home in Maypole

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 enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips or cracks by the plughole.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Maypole as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Maypole

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Are there extra charges for Maypole?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we are called out for in Maypole

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
