Shower tray repair in Wigginton

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Wigginton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Shower tray repair in Wigginton, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Wigginton questions

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Wigginton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Wigginton. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wigginton. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO32 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
