About our shower tray repair in Bicker Gauntlet

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and scuffs and light scratches.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally cheaper.

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.

Repair or replace in Bicker Gauntlet?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Bicker Gauntlet questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Bicker Gauntlet?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bicker Gauntlet

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
