Shower tray repair near Ashwell

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

Shower tray repair in Ashwell without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Ashwell: your questions answered

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you cover Ashwell?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ashwell. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ashwell?

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, generally along the edges or by the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months

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

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we repair

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