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

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Common questions in Blackpool

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Will it make a mess?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

10 questions to ask before you book

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Blackpool. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Blackpool. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
