What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

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

Handsworth questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Handsworth included. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

10 questions to ask before you book

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Handsworth, and we will reply with a fixed price.
