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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Castle Eaton

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover Castle Eaton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Castle Eaton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
