Shower tray repair in Whitchurch without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Most clients in Whitchurch get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Whitchurch

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whitchurch. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Whitchurch

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

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

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Whitchurch

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitchurch

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whitchurch. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us
