Shower tray repair near Red Rice

What we are called out for in Red Rice

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Red Rice, done in place

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Red Rice

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Red Rice

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Red Rice

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Red Rice

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SP11 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Do you charge for travel?

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
