Shower tray repair for New Lane homes

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Shower tray repair at your home in New Lane

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and a damaged area around the waste, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in New Lane

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Are you accredited?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used 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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When to call us in New Lane

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
