About our shower tray repair in Ormskirk

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

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

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ormskirk. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Ormskirk

  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking
