Shower tray repair for Silvergate homes

Shower tray repair in Silvergate without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Silvergate as everywhere else we work.

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Silvergate

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Silvergate?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Silvergate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Silvergate and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Signs you need shower tray repair in Silvergate

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
