Shower tray repair in Meltonby, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Meltonby

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Meltonby: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can I use the shower again?

Typically the day after. We will confirm before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Meltonby?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
