Trusted shower tray repair in Kidderminster

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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.

How we handle shower tray repair in Kidderminster

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and chipped corners or rims, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Kidderminster

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Kidderminster?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DY10 postcode.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Kidderminster

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

What we are called out for in Kidderminster

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A damaged area around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Kidderminster

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
