Need shower tray repair in Washington?

What affects the price in Washington

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Washington. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Washington, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Shower tray repair at your home in Washington

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Washington: your questions answered

Is it messy?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your RH20 postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Repair or replace in Washington?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Washington

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
