Shower tray repair for Walkergate homes

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How we handle shower tray repair in Walkergate

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and damage around the waste, in cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Walkergate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
