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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

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 you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common problems we fix in Laneast

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Common reasons people in Laneast contact us are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips caused during fitting

Laneast questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
