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

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.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairing versus replacing in Hartfield

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Hartfield

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Hartfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hartfield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

When to call us in Hartfield

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

  • How the colour is matched

  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Hartfield

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
