Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Wasps Nest

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Wasps Nest

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Do you cover Wasps Nest?

We do. Technicians travel to Wasps Nest from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
