What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Landlord and trade work in Grotton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Grotton

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work in Grotton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Grotton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Grotton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace in Grotton?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
