Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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 prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Stapenhill

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Stapenhill: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you work in Stapenhill?

We do. We send a technician to Stapenhill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are there extra charges for Stapenhill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Stapenhill. Prices do not change with location.

Do you need shower tray repair in Stapenhill?

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stapenhill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
