Shower tray repair in and around Palfrey: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage around the waste
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
About our shower tray repair in Palfrey
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and a crack across the base, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Walsall.

Common questions in Palfrey
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you come to Palfrey?
We do. Technicians travel to Palfrey from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Common problems we fix in Palfrey
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Palfrey
- A fixed quote before you book
- Everything repaired in place
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our prices page.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
