About our shower tray repair in Stubshaw Cross

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Landlord and trade work in Stubshaw Cross

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stubshaw Cross use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Stubshaw Cross questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Stubshaw Cross.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Stubshaw Cross

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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