Trusted shower tray repair in Merle Common

Shower tray repair at your home in Merle Common

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Merle Common

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you cover Merle Common?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Merle Common. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
