Trusted shower tray repair in Sandleheath

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

About our shower tray repair in Sandleheath

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We are often asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it, in stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • 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

For a price in Sandleheath, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Sandleheath

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandleheath

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Sandleheath

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

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

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
