Shower tray repair at your home in Whetstone

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Do you need shower tray repair in Whetstone?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whetstone

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

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

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Whetstone

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
