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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

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

FAQs for Pont-rhyd-yr-ynn

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are there extra charges for Pont-rhyd-yr-ynn?

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
