Shower tray repair for Darley Green homes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

About our shower tray repair in Darley Green

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and chipped corners or rims, across enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Darley Green and across Solihull.

Repairing versus replacing in Darley Green

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Darley Green: your questions answered

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are there extra charges for Darley Green?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Darley Green.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Darley Green?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Darley Green

Letting agents frequently 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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
