About our shower tray repair in Nether Heage

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a damaged area around the waste, we can typically put it right.

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, 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. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Nether Heage, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Nether Heage

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Nether Heage

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Nether Heage

Will the price change on the day?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

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