Aftercare tips

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

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Copt Heath

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Copt Heath

For anyone letting property in or around Copt Heath, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
