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

Questions from Dunstall

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

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.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunstall

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dunstall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

If you’re in Dunstall and want a price, 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.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
