Questions from Wartling

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

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 price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How we handle shower tray repair in Wartling

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wartling

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 Wartling clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

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.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
