Shower tray repair for Yealmbridge homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Yealmbridge: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Yealmbridge?

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the 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 typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Do you need shower tray repair in Yealmbridge?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
