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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Colwall Stone

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the whole UK

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
