How we handle shower tray repair in Melby
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Repair or replace in Melby?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Melby questions
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Melby and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Melby.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Melby
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
What affects the price in Melby
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. 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.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
