Shower tray repair in Staythorpe

About our shower tray repair in Staythorpe

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in ceramic, acrylic and stone resin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace in Staythorpe?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Staythorpe

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover Staythorpe?

We do. We send a technician to Staythorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
