Trusted shower tray repair in Wrabness

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

About our shower tray repair in Wrabness

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. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wrabness as everywhere else we work.

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
