The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What we’re called out for in Thurstonfield
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
