About our shower tray repair in Water Orton

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 is the case. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Water Orton and across Warwickshire.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. 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.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Water Orton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Water Orton: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Water Orton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we are called out for in Water Orton

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
