When to call us in Coleman Green

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Coleman Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

If you’re in Coleman Green and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Coleman Green

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 Coleman Green

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Coleman Green

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price
