About our shower tray repair in Stones Green

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Stones Green

Do you cover Stones Green?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stones Green for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Repair or replace in Stones Green?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
