Shower tray repair in Oldbury without replacing anything

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and scuffs and light scratches, across ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What we’re called out for in Oldbury

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting

Comparing quotes

  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again

FAQs for Oldbury

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you work in Oldbury?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Oldbury from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
