Ooops. Dented shower tray.

[Dave1972]

Hi all. I just dropped a tile onto a white plastic coated stone resin tray. I know, clumsy bugger. But im sure I'm not the first. Before i contact a repair company has anyone got any tips for repairing it? Its a dent about 5mm x 3mm and 3mm deep. I'd of thought colour matching would be the hard part? Cheers, dave.

Is it your own tray or a customer? A repair kit is available but probably won't be 100% perfect look on Toolstation website . Kop

I dropped a tile earlier this year on a shower tray....I just 'fessed' up to the customer, got someone in to fix it up, got the PITA customer to ok it before the fella left......lesson learn't, the hard way.

 

[Dave1972]

Thanks for the replies. It's a customer so any repair would have to be close to perfect. I saw the toolstation kit but dont want to make things worse. I think my 2 options are fess up and take £150 off the final bill if they're happy with that or get a repair guy in who, I'm guessing will charge about the same. Ill get some quotes tomorrow. I was just hoping someone had a magic curr. Lol.

Thank you. I'll have a look tomorrow. Have you used the kits yourself and are they any good?

Repair man can cost more than a new tray..

God i hope not. This tray is £600 tray, 1800 x 900 which i laid on cement. Replacement isnt an option here. I was guessing around 150 for a repair.

I used similar from a different company because they didn't do that gel coat but it was perfect .
You need to find the what colour white it is from the tray company

Acrylic capped stone resin. Please don’t try the repair kits found in the local diy stores or Screwfix etc, they won’t look good. The Anglo adhesive kits mentioned are actually very good, I’ve used one on a fibreglass bath and it was a very good repair. Not as good as a magic man repair though.

Thank you.Im going to call anglo tomorrow. The dent is pretty tiny so the kit might work. If it was an old tray I'd probably get away with it, but i just fitted it. I'll talk to the customer tomorrow. I'm led in bed kicking myself for doing it.

Honesty is the best policy I find mate we are all human and accidents do happen I have used the kit a few times it does work but once you commit theres no going back , a £600 tray I think I would maybe get a quote from magicman first . Kop

I always use foam carpet underlay ,i put on the shower trays so no problems happen,just a good idea

£600! Is it gold plated.

 

[Dave1972]

Thanks for the help. Magic man are coming out. It's £150 plus vat. The customer was fine about it. I'll let you all know what sort of job they do.

ive just completed a shower room protected the tray with 9 mm ply finished tuesday went back to day to silicone up and found tray covered in plaster dust and sparkies bits and pieces al over the floor. rang the client and forwarded photos. just hope he hasnt damaged it. sent client invoice with 35 quid cleaning charge. for the floor left the tray alone in case its damaged.

it takes just a minute to put a dust sheet down.
