When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How we handle shower tray repair in Waddicar

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole, across ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waddicar use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you need shower tray repair in Waddicar?

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Waddicar. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
