About our shower tray repair in Tansterne

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Tansterne

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What information do you need?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What we’re called out for in Tansterne

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tansterne

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
