Common problems we fix in Walton Elm

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Walton Elm. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Walton Elm

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Walton Elm?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

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 check the tray for movement first.
  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, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Repair or replace in Walton Elm?

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
