About our shower tray repair in Ridleywood

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes 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. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What affects the price in Ridleywood

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Ridleywood

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Ridleywood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Ridleywood

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

Ridleywood: your questions answered

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
