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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Lingdale

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Common questions in Lingdale

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Lingdale?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lingdale and the rest of Redcar and Cleveland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

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

Landlord and trade work in Lingdale

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Lingdale

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Lingdale clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
