Shower tray repair in Wigston

What affects the price in Wigston

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Shower tray repair in Wigston without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Wigston

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

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.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Wigston?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Signs you need shower tray repair in Wigston

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
