Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What affects the price in Sontley

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Sontley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Sontley

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

When can you do it?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
