Shower tray repair for Collins Green homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Shower tray repair at your home in Collins Green

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and a dull, stained or worn surface, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Collins Green

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Collins Green. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WA5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Collins Green

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Collins Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  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. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Collins Green: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
