Shower tray repair in West Bay without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and a crack across the base, across acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Landlord and trade work in West Bay

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When to call us in West Bay

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched

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 feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

West Bay: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How much does shower tray repair cost in West Bay?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DT6 postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
