How we handle shower tray repair in Aston-on-Trent

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and movement when you stand on it.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Common questions in Aston-on-Trent

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Aston-on-Trent included. Travel is included in the price.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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