How we handle shower tray repair in Murcott
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work, across cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we are called out for in Murcott
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Murcott: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Murcott?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Murcott?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Murcott for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Murcott, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Murcott use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
