Trusted shower tray repair in Rowton

Shower tray repair in Rowton, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

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 will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
