Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

When to call us in Ashton Gate

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashton Gate

For anyone letting property in or around Ashton Gate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Common questions in Ashton Gate

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you accredited?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Ashton Gate is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it messy?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
