How we handle shower tray repair in West Heath

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We are often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole, in enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in West Heath

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in West Heath

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you cover West Heath?

We do. We send a technician to West Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
