About our shower tray repair in Stick Hill

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 it works

A typical visit goes like this: 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 a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t 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. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
