DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilderspool

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilderspool use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need shower tray repair in Wilderspool?

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wilderspool. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

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