Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Common problems we fix in Wednesbury

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

FAQs for Wednesbury

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What affects the price in Wednesbury

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wednesbury. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Wednesbury get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
