How we handle shower tray repair in Way Head

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Way Head

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Way Head?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CB6 postcode.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Way Head?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

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

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Way Head

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What affects the price in Way Head

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
