Shower tray repair at your home in Pontshill Marsh

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and scuffs and light scratches, in acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

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

What happens on the day

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 a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HR9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

When to call us in Pontshill Marsh

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Landlord and trade work in Pontshill Marsh

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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

Pontshill Marsh: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What areas do you cover?

All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
