Shower tray repair in The Wisp

How we handle shower tray repair in The Wisp

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from The Wisp

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you cover The Wisp?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to The Wisp from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repair or replace in The Wisp?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Get a quote

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Do you need shower tray repair in The Wisp?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
