- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Oakhanger
- A fixed quote before booking

Shower tray repair at your home in Oakhanger
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Oakhanger
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Questions from Oakhanger
Do you come to Oakhanger?
We do. We send a technician to Oakhanger for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
