About our shower tray repair in Rassau

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Peace of mind is built in: 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?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Questions from Rassau

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Rassau is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves 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. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Rassau

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repairing versus replacing in Rassau

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
