Trusted shower tray repair in Merrylee

Shower tray repair in Merrylee without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Merrylee and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Merrylee. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Merrylee and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Merrylee as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Merrylee

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Merrylee.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
