Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 entire tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whitton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Whitton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Whitton.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
