Shower tray repair in Carlton without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you have snagging damage in a new bathroom and movement when you stand on it, we can help.
In a village like Carlton, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where timber floors can move. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on. In a village or hamlet like Carlton, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

Getting a price

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in Carlton
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A crack across the base
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
Landlords with property near Snaith station (about 1.3 miles south) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Replacement in Carlton means trades, travel and waste removal, while shower tray repair is one trip.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Carlton

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
