10 questions to ask before booking

Shower tray repair in Flixborough Stather, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and scratches from cleaning or grit, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Flixborough Stather

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Flixborough Stather use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Flixborough Stather questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Flixborough Stather?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Flixborough Stather from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
