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

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. In an older home in a village like St Mary Hoo, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Do you need shower tray repair in St Mary Hoo?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Landlord and trade work in St Mary Hoo

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. In a village or hamlet like St Mary Hoo, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes cost nothing and you’re under no obligation.
