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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Fen Ditton questions

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Fen Ditton

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What affects the price in Fen Ditton

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
