Trusted shower tray repair in Walford

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

About our shower tray repair in Walford

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not 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. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips on the edges, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Walford

Do you cover the entire of Herefordshire?

Across the UK, so Walford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Walford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When to call us in Walford

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips on the edges

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
