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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Georgetown

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Georgetown?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Georgetown and the rest of Merthyr Tydfil. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron

Landlords, agents and businesses in Georgetown

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Georgetown as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Most clients in Georgetown get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
