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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our pricing.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barton upon Irwell

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

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

Barton upon Irwell: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Barton upon Irwell?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your M30 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
