Shower tray repair in Wincle without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Repair or replace in Wincle?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Questions from Wincle

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Wincle and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
