Shower tray repair in Rushbrooke without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Rushbrooke questions

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you cover Rushbrooke?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Rushbrooke. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Rushbrooke

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Landlord and trade work in Rushbrooke

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Rushbrooke get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need shower tray repair in Rushbrooke?

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
