Shower tray repair in Hillfields

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hillfields. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Shower tray repair in Hillfields, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hillfields and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hillfields

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Hillfields?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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.

Do you cover the whole of Coventry?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What affects the price in Hillfields

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hillfields. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Hillfields

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillfields use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
