Shower tray repair in Burley, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a cracked shower tray and damage around the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Burley

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

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.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Burley. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
