Book shower tray repair in Langham

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Shower tray repair in Langham without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix chips on the edges and chips caused during fitting, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.

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

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Langham

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
