About our shower tray repair in Athelstaneford

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a damaged area around the waste, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Athelstaneford

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
