Your questions about shower tray repair in Eastrea

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Eastrea?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Shower tray repair in Eastrea, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches in the surface and chipped corners or rims.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eastrea use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need shower tray repair in Eastrea?

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
