About our shower tray repair in Poolstock

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and a damaged area around the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Poolstock

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Poolstock

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Poolstock

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Poolstock

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What areas do you cover?

All of Wigan, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
