Trusted shower tray repair in Wick

Shower tray repair in Wick without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and chips caused during fitting.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Questions from Wick

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KW1 postcode.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

When to call us in Wick

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Wick

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
