How we handle shower tray repair in Shabbington

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shabbington

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Buckinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Shabbington: your questions answered

Do you come to Shabbington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Shabbington and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

When to call us in Shabbington

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
