About our shower tray repair in Wanlip

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Wanlip

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repairing versus replacing in Wanlip

Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wanlip

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wanlip use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Wanlip, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Materials we work on in Wanlip

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Wanlip: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you need shower tray repair in Wanlip?

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
