Shower tray repair near Beech Lanes

The process

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

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Shower tray repair in Beech Lanes, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Beech Lanes as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Birmingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairing versus replacing in Beech Lanes

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

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

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Common questions in Beech Lanes

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do you come to Beech Lanes?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Beech Lanes from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
