Shower tray repair for Welwick homes

Shower tray repair in Welwick, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

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

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Welwick

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
