DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
FAQs for Coal Aston
Do you come to Coal Aston?
We do. We send a technician to Coal Aston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Coal Aston
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coal Aston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Coal Aston. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Coal Aston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
