How we handle shower tray repair in Melbourne

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and chipped corners or rims.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace in Melbourne?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Do you need shower tray repair in Melbourne?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Melbourne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Melbourne as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Melbourne

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Melbourne?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
