Book shower tray repair in Stirchley

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Stirchley: your questions answered

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Stirchley, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
