Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

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

Shower tray repair in Kelmarsh without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Kelmarsh

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work in Kelmarsh?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Kelmarsh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Kelmarsh?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

What we’re called out for in Kelmarsh

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Kelmarsh

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
