Shower tray repair near Culmers

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Shower tray repair in Culmers, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and chipped corners or rims.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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

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-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Questions from Culmers

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Culmers?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Culmers

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Culmers, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Culmers. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
