Shower tray repair in Small Heath

Do you need shower tray repair in Small Heath?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Shower tray repair in Small Heath, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

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 or gets worse.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Small Heath

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Small Heath

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Small Heath?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How long does it take to cure?

Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you cover Small Heath?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Small Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
