Shower tray repair near Wharles

Shower tray repair in Wharles without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

When to call us in Wharles

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it

Common questions in Wharles

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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