Shower tray repair in Westmill

Shower tray repair in Westmill, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are often asked to fix a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches, in acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?

The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Westmill?

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Westmill

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for 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. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Westmill?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
