About our shower tray repair in Watlington

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Do you need shower tray repair in Watlington?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Repair or replace in Watlington?

Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our full price list.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
