Shower tray repair for Bitterley homes

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bitterley. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

About our shower tray repair in Bitterley

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

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

Repair or replace in Bitterley?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bitterley

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Landlord and trade work in Bitterley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
