Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Shower tray repair in Birch Vale without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and a cracked shower tray.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Birch Vale

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

What affects the price in Birch Vale

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

The size and number of damaged areas
How easy the damage is to reach
Doing more than one item at once
Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add 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.

Getting a price from pictures

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

Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
One picture of the whole shower tray
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
Next we clean and prepare the tray.
Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

Let the surface dry out before the visit
Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
