Shower tray repair in Bentley Heath, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Your questions about shower tray repair in Bentley Heath

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Bentley Heath.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Bentley Heath?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B93 postcode.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bentley Heath

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Most clients in Bentley Heath get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Bentley Heath?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

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

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
