FAQs for Stichill
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Stichill?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How we handle shower tray repair in Stichill
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 are often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it, in ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What affects the price in Stichill
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Common problems we fix in Stichill
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
