Your questions about shower tray repair in Walditch

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How long does it take to cure?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repair or replace in Walditch?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walditch

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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 Walditch

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price
