How we handle shower tray repair in Brailsford

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Brailsford

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE6 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brailsford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Do you need shower tray repair in Brailsford?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

  • A crack across the base

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Brailsford

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brailsford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

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