Shower tray repair for Wiggens Green homes

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Shower tray repair at your home in Wiggens Green

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches in the surface, across acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Wiggens Green

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wiggens Green. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not 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.

What we’re called out for in Wiggens Green

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Wiggens Green

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Wiggens Green

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
