Shower tray repair in Wilford

About our shower tray repair in Wilford

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and scuffs and light scratches, across enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilford

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Wilford

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can I use the shower again?

Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we’re called out for in Wilford

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Common reasons people in Wilford contact us are:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
