Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we handle shower tray repair in Carn Brea Village

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carn Brea Village. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. 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 doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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