Trusted shower tray repair in Florence

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Florence

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Florence?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Florence. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Florence. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Florence

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

If you manage property in Florence, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
