Shower tray repair for Tidnor homes

Tidnor: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

What happens after I send photos?

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

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover Tidnor?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tidnor from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How we handle shower tray repair in Tidnor

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Tidnor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When to call us in Tidnor

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Should you replace it?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
