Shower tray repair for Whitley Heath homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we handle shower tray repair in Whitley Heath

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Whitley Heath

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Whitley Heath 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.

What we are called out for in Whitley Heath

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Whitley Heath: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
