FAQs for Aldham

Which areas do you work in?

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Repair or replace in Aldham?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Aldham

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Aldham

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Aldham. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
