How we handle shower tray repair in Well

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Well, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

When to call us in Well

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims

Our hiring checklist

Well: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Well?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Landlord and trade work in Well

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

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