Willington: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What areas do you cover?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Willington

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Landlord and trade work in Willington

If you manage property in Willington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through 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, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
