The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Questions from Shieldhill

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Shieldhill.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What affects the price in Shieldhill

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Shieldhill

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our full price list.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
