Shower tray repair for West Hewish homes

Shower tray repair in West Hewish, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for West Hewish

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

What we work on

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

What affects the price in West Hewish

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Hewish

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
