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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

FAQs for Ringley

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Ringley?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ringley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
