Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray down after showering, 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What affects the price in Altarnun

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

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.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

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