Questions from Wick

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wick use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
