Shower tray repair in Walton Bay

How we handle shower tray repair in Walton Bay

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

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 the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Walton Bay

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common problems we fix in Walton Bay

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common questions in Walton Bay

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you come to Walton Bay?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Walton Bay for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
