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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ireland Wood. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally 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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

How to prepare

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Ireland Wood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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

Common problems we fix in Ireland Wood

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
