When to call us in Gosta Green

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day

Gosta Green questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you cover Gosta Green?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Gosta Green and the rest of Birmingham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B4 postcode.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we work on in Gosta Green

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

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

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

There is 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 will reply with a fixed quote.
