How we handle shower tray repair in Borrowash

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right.

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

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Borrowash questions

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Borrowash

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
