Repairing versus replacing in Mellor

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

FAQs for Mellor

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Mellor?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BB2 postcode.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
