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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Shipley questions

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Shipley?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE75 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Common problems we fix in Shipley

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shipley

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Shipley

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Shipley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
