Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

FAQs for Blackburn

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Blackburn?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackburn as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in Blackburn?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
