When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

What we work on

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Common problems we fix in Ulnes Walton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ulnes Walton

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Ulnes Walton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Ulnes Walton: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ulnes Walton. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
