DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Redvales

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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Redvales clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it

Redvales questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

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 before the end of a tenancy.

What affects the price in Redvales

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Redvales. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Redvales, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BL9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Landlord and trade work in Redvales

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Redvales

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically along the edges or by the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches
