Shower tray repair for Westcotes homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Westcotes

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Westcotes

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Leicester. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Westcotes

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

When to call us in Westcotes

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
