Shower tray repair for Middlemarsh homes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

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

Advice

Common problems we fix in Middlemarsh

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A crack across the base

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Middlemarsh

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

FAQs for Middlemarsh

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Middlemarsh?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DT9 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Middlemarsh included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Middlemarsh. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
