Do you need shower tray repair in Little Aston?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What affects the price in Little Aston

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Little Aston

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Little Aston

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
