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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Willoughby

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Willoughby

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Willoughby

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Willoughby. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
