Shower tray repair for Littleworth homes

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  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 entire 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 entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Littleworth: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Littleworth?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common problems we fix in Littleworth

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Littleworth get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

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

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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