Shower tray repair for Shiel Bridge homes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material

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.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Shower tray repair at your home in Shiel Bridge

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Shiel Bridge

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for Shiel Bridge

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Shiel Bridge included. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
