Shower tray repair for Widmore homes

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Widmore, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

About our shower tray repair in Widmore

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Widmore

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Widmore. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Widmore and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Widmore

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Our hiring checklist

Widmore questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Widmore.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Repairing versus replacing in Widmore

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
