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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Millburn. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Millburn get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

Do you need shower tray repair in Millburn?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
