Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Questions from Stoke Albany

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.

Do you cover the entire of Northamptonshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Stoke Albany. Prices do not change with location.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke Albany as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
