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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Cantley

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
