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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in North Cotes

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in North Cotes?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you come to North Cotes?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to North Cotes and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in North Cotes?

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Cotes

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
