Trusted shower tray repair in Bowgreave

Shower tray repair in Bowgreave without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Bowgreave, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace in Bowgreave?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Bowgreave

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Common questions in Bowgreave

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What we are called out for in Bowgreave

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
