Shower tray repair in West Pilton

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we handle shower tray repair in West Pilton

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. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and chipped corners or rims, across acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Pilton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
