Shower tray repair in Madeley Heath

Madeley Heath: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What does shower tray repair cost?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Shower tray repair at your home in Madeley Heath

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are often asked to fix a tray that flexes and damage around the waste, in acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it 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. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Madeley Heath

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Madeley Heath and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Madeley Heath

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Common reasons people in Madeley Heath contact us include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Repairing versus replacing in Madeley Heath

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
