Trusted shower tray repair in Nimble Nook

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not 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 will get a fixed figure back.

How we handle shower tray repair in Nimble Nook

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Nimble Nook. The price comes down to:

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

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OL9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Nimble Nook, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nimble Nook use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Repairs by material

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
