How we handle shower tray repair in Blithbury

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We’re often asked to fix a tray that flexes and edge chips from dropped bottles, in ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

In a village like Blithbury, showers are frequently later additions to older homes, and we always check the tray’s support first.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What affects the price in Blithbury

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Questions from Blithbury

Do you cover villages like Blithbury?

Yes, we do: small places like Blithbury are covered as standard. Just mention any tricky access.

Do you work for landlords with property near Rugeley Trent Valley station?

Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. Somewhere like Blithbury needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Blithbury

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste

Landlords with property near Rugeley Trent Valley station (about 2.4 miles west) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
