About our shower tray repair in Clifton

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that flexes, across cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next 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
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

FAQs for Clifton

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

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 tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you come to Clifton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Clifton and the rest of Stirling. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clifton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clifton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Clifton

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

When to call us in Clifton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
