Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Shower tray repair at your home in Johnstonebridge

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Johnstonebridge

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically along the edges or by the waste.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again
