What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How we handle shower tray repair in Sandonbank
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Sandonbank
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
FAQs for Sandonbank
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Sandonbank?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sandonbank from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandonbank
Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Sandonbank

What else we do in Sandonbank
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
