Shower tray repair in Walford

Shower tray repair in Walford without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a damaged area around the waste, we can help, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Walford questions

Do you come to Walford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Walford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walford

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

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

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

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Walford

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Walford

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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