How we handle shower tray repair in Olveston

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When to call us in Olveston

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Olveston

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is it messy?

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

How long before I can shower?

Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Olveston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You do not 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
