Book shower tray repair in Shelfield

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Shower tray repair at your home in Shelfield

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Walsall.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Common questions in Shelfield

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shelfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Shelfield, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Shelfield

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
