Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair in Birches Green without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Birches Green

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Birches Green. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

FAQs for Birches Green

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
