Shower tray repair in Green Street

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

When to call us in Green Street

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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