Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Shower tray repair in Stainforth, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and damage from a refit or building work.

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Questions from Stainforth

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Doncaster, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Stainforth, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

There’s 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 will reply with a fixed price.

10 questions to ask before you book

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Landlord and trade work in Stainforth

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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