About our shower tray repair in Bishopsgate

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Questions from Bishopsgate

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Bishopsgate is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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