Shower tray repair for Thorpe St Peter homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Thorpe St Peter

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thorpe St Peter and across Lincolnshire.

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

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

FAQs for Thorpe St Peter

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Thorpe St Peter?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover Thorpe St Peter?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Thorpe St Peter and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

When can you do it?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
