Shower tray repair in Sheldwich Lees

How we handle shower tray repair in Sheldwich Lees

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Sheldwich Lees get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sheldwich Lees

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ME13 postcode.

When can I use the shower again?

Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
