Need shower tray repair in Pillaton?

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we handle shower tray repair in Pillaton

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Pillaton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Pillaton. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Pillaton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Pillaton

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?
