Shower tray repair in Friezland without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Friezland?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Friezland. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Friezland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Friezland

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
