Common questions in Alumwell

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When to call us in Alumwell

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
