Shower tray repair in Whiston without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Our technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S60 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Whiston

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whiston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
