Shower tray repair near Broxbourne

Shower tray repair at your home in Broxbourne

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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

Common questions in Broxbourne

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Landlord and trade work in Broxbourne

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broxbourne use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. 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. 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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Signs you need shower tray repair in Broxbourne

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

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

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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