Foundry questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Foundry.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
About our shower tray repair in Foundry
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foundry as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
