Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Shower tray repair in Horringer, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the edges and damage around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos 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

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 normally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
