About our shower tray repair in Wig-fach

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in Wig-fach

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

If you manage property in Wig-fach, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Wig-fach questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

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 long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Do you come to Wig-fach?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wig-fach. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron

Do you need shower tray repair in Wig-fach?

Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace in Wig-fach?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
