Shower tray repair in Watt's Cross

Common questions in Watt's Cross

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

About our shower tray repair in Watt's Cross

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we work on in Watt's Cross

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

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

Landlord and trade work in Watt's Cross

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Watt's Cross

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

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’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally involves 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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
