Choosing a repair company

Shower tray repair in Kingston without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it, in stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Kingston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

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

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Kingston questions

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Kingston?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Kingston?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
