About our shower tray repair in Rableyheath

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need shower tray repair in Rableyheath?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Rableyheath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Rableyheath

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you cover Rableyheath?

We do. Technicians travel to Rableyheath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
