Trusted shower tray repair in Bramford

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Shower tray repair in Bramford without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface.

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

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: 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 quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Bramford

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you come to Bramford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bramford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Bramford, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we are called out for in Bramford
