Common problems we fix in Littleton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Littleton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How long does it take to cure?

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

Do you come to Littleton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Littleton and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cheshire West and Chester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Littleton

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
