Landlords, agents and businesses in Portwood
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Stockport and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
About our shower tray repair in Portwood
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and chips on the edges, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need shower tray repair in Portwood?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Portwood

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Portwood
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Stockport. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Portwood
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
See our pricing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
