Shower tray repair for West End homes

Questions from West End

Do you work in West End?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to West End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How we handle shower tray repair in West End

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.

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

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in West End

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in West End

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West End use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repair or replace in West End?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
