Shower tray repair near Hollinwood

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

About our shower tray repair in Hollinwood

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our full price list.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

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.

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Hollinwood

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hollinwood, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hollinwood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hollinwood questions

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

What areas do you cover?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
