About our shower tray repair in Rowley

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a crack across the base, in enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rowley

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What we are called out for in Rowley

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
