Shower tray repair in Nelson

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Shower tray repair in Nelson without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Nelson

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

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Nelson. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Do you need shower tray repair in Nelson?

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Common reasons people in Nelson contact us include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Nelson

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Nelson, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
