Shower tray repair in Stanton in Peak

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Shower tray repair in Stanton in Peak, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and a dull, stained or worn surface.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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 damage the floor below.

What we’re called out for in Stanton in Peak

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Movement when you stand on it

Your questions about shower tray repair in Stanton in Peak

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stanton in Peak. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
