Shower tray repair for Delapré Abbey homes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos 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.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Delapré Abbey: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Delapré Abbey included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repair or replace in Delapré Abbey?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlords, agents and businesses in Delapré Abbey

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
