What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Shower tray repair in Buildwas, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Repair or replace in Buildwas?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Buildwas

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Common questions in Buildwas

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Telford and Wrekin.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What affects the price in Buildwas

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
