Shower tray repair in Melplash without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
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.
Landlord and trade work in Melplash
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Melplash
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
When to call us in Melplash
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
