How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Shower tray repair in Colwich, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Colwich and across Staffordshire.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

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

Most clients in Colwich get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Colwich?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Colwich, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common questions in Colwich

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
