What we are called out for in Thurlstone

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 whole 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 typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thurlstone. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurlstone as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
