Shower tray repair in Widnes

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Shower tray repair in Widnes without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Widnes

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Widnes.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

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

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Widnes use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Do you need shower tray repair in Widnes?

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Read our prices page.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
