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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered 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. 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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Questions from Lower Gresham

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What information do you need?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lower Gresham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Landlord and trade work in Lower Gresham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
