About our shower tray repair in Whaddon

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Whaddon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whaddon

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Whaddon, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Whaddon

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can I use the shower again?

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

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When to call us in Whaddon

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
