Shower tray repair near Draycot Foliat

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Draycot Foliat and across Swindon.

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Draycot Foliat

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Draycot Foliat

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Draycot Foliat. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Draycot Foliat

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover Draycot Foliat?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Draycot Foliat for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Draycot Foliat included. Travel is included in the price.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
