Trusted shower tray repair in Northwick

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: 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.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Northwick

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A damaged area around the waste

  • What prep work is covered

  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Northwick: your questions answered

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
