How we handle shower tray repair in North Bockhampton

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in North Bockhampton?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in North Bockhampton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in North Bockhampton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we are called out for in North Bockhampton

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
