How we handle shower tray repair in Meinciau
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meinciau as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price

Advice
Common questions in Meinciau
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Meinciau included. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Meinciau?
We do. Technicians travel to Meinciau from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
