Trusted shower tray repair in Binley

What we’re called out for in Binley

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Shower tray repair in Binley, 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. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that flexes, across acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

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.

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 normally the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

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

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Binley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Binley

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
