Shower tray repair in Brownhill

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Shower tray repair at your home in Brownhill

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Brownhill

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Should you replace it?

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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Brownhill

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
