How we handle shower tray repair in Metham
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and chips caused during fitting, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
In a village like Metham, showers are often later additions to older homes, and we always check the tray’s support first.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Metham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Metham
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Landlords with property near Saltmarshe station (about 1.4 miles west) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Metham
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. For a rural home like those around Metham, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Metham
I let a flat near Saltmarshe station. Can you help between tenants?
Of course: photos and an address are all we need for a price.
Do you come out to small places like Metham?
Of course; we work in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. In a village or hamlet like Metham, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
