Shower tray repair near Platt's Heath

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Platt's Heath

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and scuffs and light scratches, across ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Platt's Heath use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we are called out for in Platt's Heath

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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