Shower tray repair in Bridge of Alford, 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’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Bridge of Alford

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Bridge of Alford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Bridge of Alford?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bridge of Alford. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
