DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Shower tray repair at your home in Bloomsbury
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and chips on the edges.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Bloomsbury?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Bloomsbury
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bloomsbury
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Bloomsbury?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bloomsbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
