Need shower tray repair in Threapwood?

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Shower tray repair in Threapwood without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Threapwood

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Threapwood and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

When to call us in Threapwood

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Threapwood

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Threapwood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

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

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Threapwood get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
