Shower tray repair in Great Kingshill 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 enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and damage from a refit or building work.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Great Kingshill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Great Kingshill questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Great Kingshill?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for 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. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Great Kingshill

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Great Kingshill

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
