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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 typically cheaper.

Common questions in Caol

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Caol.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Caol. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Caol

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caol as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
