Shower tray repair for Benhall Street homes

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle shower tray repair in Benhall Street

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Benhall Street

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Benhall Street

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions from Benhall Street

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Benhall Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Benhall Street. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

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

Repair or replace in Benhall Street?

Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
