Trusted shower tray repair in Bartestree

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Shower tray repair in Bartestree without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Landlord and trade work in Bartestree

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Herefordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bartestree

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

When to call us in Bartestree

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chips on the edges
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
