Shower tray repair in Wallend, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wallend

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wallend use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Wallend

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
