Shower tray repair for Whitton homes

Shower tray repair at your home in Whitton

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Whitton

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:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Damage around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually 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 check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Questions from Whitton

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Whitton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Whitton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
