Shower tray repair for Little Wymondley homes

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Little Wymondley

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Little Wymondley

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

FAQs for Little Wymondley

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Little Wymondley?

We do. We send a technician to Little Wymondley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
