Shower tray repair in Great Snoring, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole.

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

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

When to call us in Great Snoring

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A damaged area around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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

Landlord and trade work in Great Snoring

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

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

FAQs for Great Snoring

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

When can I use the shower again?

Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

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