Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Well Head

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Questions from Well Head

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you work in Well Head?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Well Head and the rest of Central Bedfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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