Trusted shower tray repair in Babel Green

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Shower tray repair at your home in Babel Green

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and cracks running from the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Babel Green and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

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

Questions from Babel Green

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Babel Green included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Babel Green

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

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
