When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Hoe?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Hoe

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hoe

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you come to Hoe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hoe and the rest of Surrey. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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