FAQs for Warbstow

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

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

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Warbstow

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Warbstow

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Warbstow?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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.
