Shower tray repair near Turton Bottoms

Questions from Turton Bottoms

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What information do you need?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you come to Turton Bottoms?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Turton Bottoms from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Common problems we fix in Turton Bottoms

  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include
