Need shower tray repair in Wangford?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle shower tray repair in Wangford

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Signs you need shower tray repair in Wangford

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Wangford

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Store bottles off the tray

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.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common questions in Wangford

Do you come to Wangford?

We do. We send a technician to Wangford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
