Shower tray repair in Redcloak

Shower tray repair in Redcloak without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface, in stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

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

Honest limits

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Signs you need shower tray repair in Redcloak

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage from a refit or building work

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Redcloak

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What does shower tray repair cost?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
