Trusted shower tray repair in Little Woolgarston

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we handle shower tray repair in Little Woolgarston

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Little Woolgarston: your questions answered

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Little Woolgarston?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BH20 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you come to Little Woolgarston?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Little Woolgarston. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Woolgarston

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should you replace it?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Little Woolgarston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
