Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Whaddon, Gloucestershire
Problem with your shower tray in Whaddon? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Shower tray repair at your home in Whaddon
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Whaddon
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Whaddon
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs

What affects the price in Whaddon
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
