Shower tray repair for Hoggard's Green homes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

About our shower tray repair in Hoggard's Green

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit.

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

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hoggard's Green. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Hoggard's Green questions

What areas do you cover?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are there extra charges for Hoggard's Green?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hoggard's Green

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hoggard's Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Hoggard's Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
