Shower tray repair in Park Town, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Park Town questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Park Town?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

What we’re called out for in Park Town

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Park Town, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
