Shower tray repair for Gailey homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Gailey

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

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

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Gailey

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gailey. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Gailey: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Repair or replace in Gailey?

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
