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

Common questions in Skerne Park

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

What we are called out for in Skerne Park

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Repair or replace in Skerne Park?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our pricing.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DL1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
