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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hay. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

For a price in Hay, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we are called out for in Hay

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Look out for these signs:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Hay questions

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Hay?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HR3 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
