Shower tray repair in Alwoodley

How we handle shower tray repair in Alwoodley

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and chipped corners or rims, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Alwoodley

Common questions in Alwoodley

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Alwoodley?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Alwoodley 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 is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Common problems we fix in Alwoodley

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Alwoodley

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Alwoodley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Alwoodley

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
