Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Clay Common
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
