Shower tray repair in St Mary in the Marsh without replacing anything

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 explain what we find. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and chips caused during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from St Mary in the Marsh

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Mary in the Marsh. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

When to call us in St Mary in the Marsh

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
