Trusted shower tray repair in Rolleston

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Rolleston

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Rolleston?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we are called out for in Rolleston

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

Your questions about shower tray repair in Rolleston

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We ensure the tray does not 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. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
