Shower tray repair in Upper Whiston

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we handle shower tray repair in Upper Whiston

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and light scratches and damage around the waste.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Upper Whiston. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Upper Whiston

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Upper Whiston

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you cover Upper Whiston?

We do. We send a technician to Upper Whiston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Are there extra charges for Upper Whiston?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
