Questions from Wattsville

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Are there extra charges for Wattsville?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we work on in Wattsville

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wattsville. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Wattsville

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Wattsville

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlord and trade work in Wattsville

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

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