About our shower tray repair in Wardle

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Wardle

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wardle. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Wardle get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

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

Landlord and trade work in Wardle

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire East and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Wardle, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
