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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around East Law, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in East Law

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

East Law questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
