DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it. In a town like Porthcawl, most homes have a driveway or nearby street parking, so the visit is simple to arrange. Tell us if the shower tray is upstairs or in a flat.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Around Porthcawl, a new shower tray rarely matches what’s around it, whereas repairing keeps the room matching.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Porthcawl

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- 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.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Common problems we fix in Porthcawl
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
If you manage a building such as Nottage Primary School, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
