How we handle shower tray repair in Quinton

Quinton: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Quinton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Quinton
A new shower tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Quinton
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Quinton. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs

- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Quinton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
