About our shower tray repair in Willisham Tye

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common questions in Willisham Tye

What does shower tray repair cost?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can I use the shower again?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Are there extra charges for Willisham Tye?

Do you work in Willisham Tye?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Willisham Tye from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
