Shower tray repair in Mells without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and staining and dullness across the tray, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mells as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Mells questions

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

  • How many items we do on one visit
