Shower tray repair in Waterton

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

About our shower tray repair in Waterton

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Waterton: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Waterton

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Landlord and trade work in Waterton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
