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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

FAQs for Sandend

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Sandend included. Travel is included in the price.

Are there extra charges for Sandend?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repair or replace in Sandend?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
