Shower tray repair in West Ilsley, done in place

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 edge chips from dropped bottles and damage from a refit or building work, we can help, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

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

Questions from West Ilsley

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. 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.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Common problems we fix in West Ilsley

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in West Ilsley

If you manage property in West Ilsley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Ilsley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
