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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. 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. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

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 price without visiting.

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Tinshill questions

Do you cover Tinshill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tinshill and the rest of Leeds. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you cover the whole of Leeds?

Everywhere in the UK, Tinshill included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Tinshill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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.

Repair or replace in Tinshill?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Tinshill

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
