Your questions about shower tray repair in Smith's Green

Are there extra charges for Smith's Green?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is it messy?

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

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our pricing.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Landlord and trade work in Smith's Green

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smith's Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
