Landlords, agents and businesses in Wattston

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Honest limits

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Wattston

Common questions in Wattston

How much does shower tray repair cost in Wattston?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your ML6 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Wattston customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
