How we handle shower tray repair in Church Gresley

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes, in enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Church Gresley and across Derbyshire.

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

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray

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. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Do you need shower tray repair in Church Gresley?

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Church Gresley and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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 relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
