Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What affects the price in Melbourn
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Melbourn. The price comes down to:

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Melbourn
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Rented homes near Meldreth station (about 0.7 miles north-west) change hands often, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Repair or replace in Melbourn?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. For a home around Melbourn where the shower tray is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
