Need shower tray repair in Stivichall?

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Shower tray repair in Stivichall, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

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

Should I try a DIY kit 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stivichall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos

When to call us in Stivichall

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Stivichall questions

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What affects the price in Stivichall

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Stivichall, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
