About our shower tray repair in Spital

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches in the surface.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Spital and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Spital questions

Are you accredited?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Spital and the rest of Wirral. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Common problems we fix in Spital

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Spital?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our full price list.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
