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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 generally cheaper.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Deneside. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Deneside, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Deneside

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why Deneside clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
