Shower tray repair at your home in Melchbourne
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and chips or cracks by the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Melchbourne. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode

Repair or replace in Melchbourne?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Melchbourne
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Melchbourne and the rest of Bedford Borough. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlords, agents and businesses in Melchbourne
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Melchbourne use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Melchbourne

When to call us in Melchbourne
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
