Shower tray repair in Bishton

Shower tray repair in Bishton, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bishton as everywhere else we work.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Most customers in Bishton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Bishton

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Bishton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we’re called out for in Bishton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
