Shower tray repair in Richmond, done in place

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Richmond, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in Richmond?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Richmond

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
