How we handle shower tray repair in Witton

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Witton

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Birmingham.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

When to call us in Witton

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Witton

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Witton 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.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Witton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
