Shower tray repair in Meppershall without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a crack across the base, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Meppershall: your questions answered

Do you cover Meppershall?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Meppershall and the rest of Central Bedfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Meppershall

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Meppershall?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Meppershall clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our pricing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common problems we fix in Meppershall

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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