Shower tray repair near Wharley End

About our shower tray repair in Wharley End

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that flexes, we can typically put it right.

In a village like Wharley End, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where floors may be timber. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Wharley End

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Rented homes near Ridgmont station (about 3.7 miles south-east) change hands frequently, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Older homes around Wharley End may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wharley End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it. Somewhere like Wharley End needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
