How we handle shower tray repair in Glassonby

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Glassonby as everywhere else we work.

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

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlords, agents and businesses in Glassonby

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glassonby as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need shower tray repair in Glassonby?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
