Shower tray repair in Alrewas

Shower tray repair in Alrewas without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Alrewas, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we’re called out for in Alrewas

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Questions from Alrewas

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work in Alrewas?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Alrewas for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Repairing versus replacing in Alrewas

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Alrewas clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
