Shower tray repair in Stubwood

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

About our shower tray repair in Stubwood

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Do you need shower tray repair in Stubwood?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Common reasons people in Stubwood contact us are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area 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. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: 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 we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
