Trusted shower tray repair in Merrow

How we handle shower tray repair in Merrow

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and chips on the edges, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK

What affects the price in Merrow

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Common problems we fix in Merrow

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Merrow: your questions answered

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
