Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Writhlington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Shower tray repair in Lower Writhlington without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and chips on the edges, across cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lower Writhlington as everywhere else we work.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Lower Writhlington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Lower Writhlington

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
The process
On the day, 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, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Lower Writhlington

What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
