Trusted shower tray repair in Keir Mill

Keir Mill: your questions answered

Do you cover Keir Mill?

We do. We send a technician to Keir Mill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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.

How we handle shower tray repair in Keir Mill

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. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a cracked shower tray.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Keir Mill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Keir Mill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Keir Mill?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
