What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: 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. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Whaddon: your questions answered

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Are there extra charges for Whaddon?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Materials we work on in Whaddon

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

Common problems we fix in Whaddon

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whaddon

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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