Shower tray repair in Wickham

Wickham: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are there extra charges for Wickham?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Shower tray repair in Wickham without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Berkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Do you need shower tray repair in Wickham?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Wickham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
