About our shower tray repair in Plashet

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and chips on the edges, we can normally put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Repair or replace in Plashet?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Common problems we fix in Plashet

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage around the waste

How to compare quotes

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Plashet: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your E6 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Plashet

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

Different materials, different repairs

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 is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
