Trusted shower tray repair in Melon Green

Shower tray repair in Melon Green, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Melon Green questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Melon Green?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you come to Melon Green?

We do. We send a technician to Melon Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Repair or replace in Melon Green?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally 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?

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

What we’re called out for in Melon Green

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Melon Green

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Melon Green. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
