The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Williamstown: your questions answered

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Williamstown included. Travel is included in the price.

How do I book?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Williamstown. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Williamstown?

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
