Your questions about shower tray repair in Aston

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the following day.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Aston customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Birmingham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Aston

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
