10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Stone Common

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you come to Stone Common?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Stone Common and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stone Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Stone Common clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
