Shower tray repair for Bonthorpe homes

Shower tray repair in Bonthorpe, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and damage around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, 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 cannot see.

How the visit works

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

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bonthorpe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we are called out for in Bonthorpe

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Bonthorpe

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Bonthorpe included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can I use the shower again?

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