What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Shower tray repair in Sutterton Dowdyke, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and damage around the waste, across enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutterton Dowdyke

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutterton Dowdyke as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sutterton Dowdyke. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Sutterton Dowdyke

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Common problems we fix in Sutterton Dowdyke

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Sutterton Dowdyke

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
