Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Wood Lane

How it works

- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Questions from Wood Lane
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
