DIY kit or professional repair?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What a repair can’t fix

What affects the price in Gentleshaw

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gentleshaw. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Gentleshaw

Can I add another job to the visit?

What areas do you cover?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
