Shower tray repair for Stenness homes

How we handle shower tray repair in Stenness

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Stenness

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Stenness

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
