Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Stenson?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stenson

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stenson, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
