DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shalford
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
