Shower tray repair in Fankerton without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are often asked to fix a crack across the base and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
What we are called out for in Fankerton

Common reasons people in Fankerton contact us are:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A cracked shower tray

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Fankerton
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page.
What affects the price in Fankerton
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
