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

Repair or replace in Billinge?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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 will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Billinge, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Billinge

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
