Questions from Saracen's Head

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you come to Saracen's Head?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Saracen's Head for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Saracen's Head

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Common reasons people in Saracen's Head contact us include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
