When to call us in Meldreth

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

10 questions to ask before booking

Shower tray repair in Meldreth without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and movement when you stand on it.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meldreth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Meldreth customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Meldreth

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Meldreth.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Meldreth. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
