Questions from Bedminster Down

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the day after. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

About our shower tray repair in Bedminster Down

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We are often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and damage around the waste, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bedminster Down and across Bristol.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When to call us in Bedminster Down

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

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes

Before you book anyone

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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, usually until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
