Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Pontllanfraith
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Pontllanfraith
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What affects the price in Pontllanfraith
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Pontllanfraith. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Pontllanfraith, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
