Shower tray repair in Wath

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  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. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Most customers in Wath get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Shower tray repair in Wath without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Wath

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Wath

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repairing versus replacing in Wath

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
