Shower tray repair for Wickham Green homes

About our shower tray repair in Wickham Green

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, across ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

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

When to call us in Wickham Green

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

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

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Wickham Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

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

Materials we work on in Wickham Green

Common questions in Wickham Green

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover Wickham Green?

We do. We send a technician to Wickham Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
