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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Lathbury?

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base
  • Movement when you stand on it

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 typically the cheaper route.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
