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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Take a look at our prices page.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

FAQs for Barford

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Barford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Barford and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
