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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bryncoch

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bryncoch use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bryncoch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bryncoch

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Bryncoch?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA10 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
