How we handle shower tray repair in Browns Green

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and people most often call us about a cracked shower tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Browns Green?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Browns Green questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Browns Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

10 questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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