Trusted shower tray repair in Cold Well

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cold Well use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we handle shower tray repair in Cold Well

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When to call us in Cold Well

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What affects the price in Cold Well

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cold Well. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
