Shower tray repair near Wickham Street

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Shower tray repair in Wickham Street, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base.

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

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Materials we work on in Wickham Street

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

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Wickham Street customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • 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 whole shower tray, we can price the job.

Wickham Street: your questions answered

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Wickham Street?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP23 postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Wickham Street?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Wickham Street from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
