Shower tray repair in Birchover

Shower tray repair in Birchover, done in place

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with cracks running from the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Birchover

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

When can you do it?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • 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 an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birchover use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area 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 look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in Birchover

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
