Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

Landlord and trade work in Walcot

If you manage property in Walcot, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to compare quotes

Walcot: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

All of Bath and North East Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

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

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

When can I use the shower again?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
