Shower tray repair in Totley

How we handle shower tray repair in Totley

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

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

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Totley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

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. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Totley

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Totley included. There is no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Are there extra charges for Totley?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

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.

What we’re called out for in Totley

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
