Shower tray repair for Ware homes

Shower tray repair in Ware without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage around the waste, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ware. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, 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.

Questions from Ware

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ware.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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