Trusted shower tray repair in Waddingham

Shower tray repair in Waddingham, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray, across cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Waddingham. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waddingham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Waddingham: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

When to call us in Waddingham

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
