Shower tray repair in Mockbeggar

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

How we handle shower tray repair in Mockbeggar

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. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Do you come to Mockbeggar?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Mockbeggar. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes

  • Damage from a refit or building work

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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