Shower tray repair near Higham Ferrers

Shower tray repair in Higham Ferrers without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray, across acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, 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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Higham Ferrers, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Higham Ferrers questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are there extra charges for Higham Ferrers?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
