How we handle shower tray repair in Waddon

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and a dull, stained or worn surface.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Waddon

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Waddon?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What affects the price in Waddon

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • 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.
