Shower tray repair in Latherford

About our shower tray repair in Latherford

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wolverhampton.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Landlord and trade work in Latherford

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wolverhampton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Latherford: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Latherford?

We do. We send a technician to Latherford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

What we work on

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Latherford

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
