Shower tray repair for Maypole homes

Shower tray repair in Maypole without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Maypole questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you come to Maypole?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Maypole for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Maypole, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Maypole

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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 can be filled and matched.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
