Shenton: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Shenton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Shenton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Questions to ask before booking

- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

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 isn’t 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.
