Landlords, agents and businesses in Hart Plain
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Shower tray repair in Hart Plain without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Hart Plain?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hart Plain. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hart Plain
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we are called out for in Hart Plain
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chipped corners or rims
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
Hart Plain: your questions answered
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
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 a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
