How we handle shower tray repair in Bradshaw
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, 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 will 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Bradshaw
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts 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.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Bradshaw
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bradshaw
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Bradshaw
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bradshaw. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Bradshaw: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Bolton. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Landlord and trade work in Bradshaw
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradshaw use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BL2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
