Shower tray repair in Shifnal

Shower tray repair in Shifnal without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shifnal

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Shifnal?

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
