About our shower tray repair in Thurgoland

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and chips caused during fitting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thurgoland as everywhere else we work.

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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 colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we’re called out for in Thurgoland

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What affects the price in Thurgoland

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Thurgoland. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
