Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we handle shower tray repair in Capstone

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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 whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Capstone

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you cover the whole of Medway?

We cover the whole UK, including Capstone and the rest of Medway. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Capstone, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we are called out for in Capstone

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
