Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Cock Bank

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Cock Bank

Can you fix a cracked tray?

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

Do you work in Cock Bank?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cock Bank for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
