Shower tray repair in Tixall

Shower tray repair in Tixall without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

Your questions about shower tray repair in Tixall

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Staffordshire.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Tixall and the rest of Staffordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Repairing versus replacing in Tixall

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

Landlord and trade work in Tixall

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
