What we’re called out for in South Widcombe

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

South Widcombe questions

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in South Widcombe?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Bath and North East Somerset.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

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.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Widcombe

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
