- Scratches in the surface

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in Tunstall
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tunstall. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
