What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about shower tray repair in Winson Green

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Winson Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Winson Green and the rest of Birmingham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Do you need shower tray repair in Winson Green?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

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

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

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

Materials we work on in Winson Green

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Winson Green. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
