Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Old Philpstoun questions

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Old Philpstoun included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How long does it take to cure?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

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 isn’t visible.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Old Philpstoun

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

What we are called out for in Old Philpstoun

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Old Philpstoun clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
