Shower tray repair near Gazeley

Shower tray repair at your home in Gazeley

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CB8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Gazeley questions

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Gazeley?

We do. We send a technician to Gazeley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Gazeley

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What affects the price in Gazeley

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
