Shower tray repair at your home in Walkford

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it.

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

Repair or replace in Walkford?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Walkford

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Walkford

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Walkford.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Our hiring checklist

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Walkford, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
