About our shower tray repair in Bickenhill

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Bickenhill

Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bickenhill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Bickenhill

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B92 postcode.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Solihull.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you need shower tray repair in Bickenhill?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
