Shower tray repair for Washwood Heath homes

Shower tray repair in Washwood Heath without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

FAQs for Washwood Heath

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Washwood Heath included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
