Trusted shower tray repair in Trethewey

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

About our shower tray repair in Trethewey

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. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a cracked shower tray, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

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

Everywhere in the UK, Trethewey included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trethewey

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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