Shower tray repair for Hell Corner homes

About our shower tray repair in Hell Corner

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hell Corner. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Hell Corner, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Hell Corner

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

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

Common questions in Hell Corner

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hell Corner.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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