How we handle shower tray repair in Long Itchington

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Long Itchington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic

Long Itchington: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Long Itchington is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What do you need from me?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

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

What we are called out for in Long Itchington

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, generally along the edges or by the waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

Repair or replace in Long Itchington?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
