Tostock: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

Normally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Tostock. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Tostock?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Tostock?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Tostock, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
