FAQs for Upper Hopton

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Shower tray repair at your home in Upper Hopton

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and scuffs and light scratches.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  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
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Upper Hopton

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK

  • Work done at your home or business

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
