When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Four Ashes

Do you work in Four Ashes?

We do. Technicians travel to Four Ashes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

When can I use the shower again?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Four Ashes

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Four Ashes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Buckinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Repair or replace in Four Ashes?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Four Ashes

  • No need to remove anything
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
