Trusted shower tray repair in Higher Wincham

Shower tray repair at your home in Higher Wincham

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a damaged area around the waste.

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

Higher Wincham questions

Is it messy?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?

We work UK-wide, so Higher Wincham is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
