Shower tray repair near West End

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. 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 and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in West End

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you come to West End?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Landlord and trade work in West End

If you manage property in West End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ML11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
