Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Dickens Heath questions

What happens if you find more damage?

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

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Dickens Heath.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Landlord and trade work in Dickens Heath

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Dickens Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
