Need shower tray repair in East Lyng?

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to East Lyng. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TA3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Shower tray repair in East Lyng, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scuffs and light scratches, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

East Lyng questions

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Somerset.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long before I can shower?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repairing versus replacing in East Lyng

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 early repairs help.

What we are called out for in East Lyng

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Common reasons people in East Lyng contact us include:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
