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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Snelston Common

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Snelston Common

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Snelston Common?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Snelston Common and the rest of Derbyshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

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 I get a quote without a visit?

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

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Snelston Common

For anyone letting property in or around Snelston Common, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What affects the price in Snelston Common

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
