Shower tray repair near Ladywood

Should you replace it?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

About our shower tray repair in Ladywood

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and chips or cracks by the plughole.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Landlord and trade work in Ladywood

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ladywood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Ladywood

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Worcestershire?

All of Worcestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
