Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Breinton

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

FAQs for Upper Breinton

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

The process

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. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Breinton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in Upper Breinton

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
