Wiggins Hill questions

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Birmingham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Wiggins Hill?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your B76 postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wiggins Hill. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wiggins Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Wiggins Hill

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Birmingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Wiggins Hill

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
