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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Bareppa

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bareppa. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Landlord and trade work in Bareppa

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

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

Bareppa questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
