Shower tray repair in Aston

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we handle shower tray repair in Aston

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When to call us in Aston

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches

10 questions to ask before booking

Aston: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Aston?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
