Shower tray repair in Hailey without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We’re often asked to fix a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste, in cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Homes around Hailey frequently have showers added to older buildings, and we always check the tray’s support first.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. For a rural home like those around Hailey, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while shower tray repair is one trip.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hailey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hailey

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 usually cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hailey. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
