Common questions in Earlsdon

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you come to Earlsdon?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Earlsdon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Shower tray repair in Earlsdon, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Earlsdon

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

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

  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Earlsdon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. 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?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
