Shower tray repair near Seatoller

Shower tray repair in Seatoller, done in place

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 are frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges, in enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Repair or replace in Seatoller?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Questions from Seatoller

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Seatoller.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover Seatoller?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Seatoller. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Seatoller use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Seatoller

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Seatoller. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Seatoller, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Seatoller

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.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
