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

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common problems we fix in Charfield

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charfield

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charfield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Charfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Charfield

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
