Repairing versus replacing in Sonning Common

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sonning Common
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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 happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
