Shower tray repair for Upper Holme homes

Shower tray repair in Upper Holme, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and movement when you stand on it.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically 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. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Upper Holme. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Upper Holme

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Upper Holme

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Upper Holme. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Upper Holme

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
