Repairing versus replacing in Wannock

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. In an older home in a village like Wannock, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Common problems we fix in Wannock

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that flexes

We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as Willingdon Community School, changing-room showers can be repaired in place too.

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wannock

For anyone letting property in or around Wannock, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it. For a rural address like Wannock, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there is no second trip.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
