Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Blacker Hill
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Blacker Hill
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- Typically one visit, start to finish

When to call us in Blacker Hill
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Blacker Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Questions from Blacker Hill
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- 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.
