Shower tray repair near Surrex

Shower tray repair at your home in Surrex

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

FAQs for Surrex

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Surrex?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO6 postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Surrex?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
