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

When to call us in Medbourne

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you 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, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Medbourne

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What areas do you cover?

All of Swindon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Repair or replace in Medbourne?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SN4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
