How we handle shower tray repair in Horncastle
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

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 does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Horncastle. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Horncastle
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
