Shower tray repair in Sidford

Repairing versus replacing in Sidford

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we’re called out for in Sidford

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Sidford

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sidford. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
