Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Shower tray repair in Waldley, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Common questions in Waldley

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Waldley

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole 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 whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Waldley

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waldley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
