About our shower tray repair in Shuttlewood

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and cracks running from the waste.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

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

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should you replace it?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Shuttlewood?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Shuttlewood

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Shuttlewood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
