How we handle shower tray repair in Charlton

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and a cracked shower tray.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Charlton and across Wiltshire.

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

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

What affects the price in Charlton

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we’re called out for in Charlton

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Questions from Charlton

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
