Shower tray repair in Warcop, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and a cracked shower tray, in ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Warcop. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlord and trade work in Warcop

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Warcop questions

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
