About our shower tray repair in Stone Street

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and a cracked shower tray, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Stone Street

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Stone Street, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Stone Street questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

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 replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Stone Street

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Stone Street

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What affects the price in Stone Street

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
