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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure 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. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Repair or replace in Heaton Chapel?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Heaton Chapel, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Heaton Chapel, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Heaton Chapel questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Heaton Chapel and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 normally cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
