Your questions about shower tray repair in St Columb Road

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

About our shower tray repair in St Columb Road

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Columb Road use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in St Columb Road

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for St Columb Road. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
