Shower tray repair at your home in Willowtown

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches in the surface and chipped corners or rims.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What affects the price in Willowtown

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Willowtown get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Willowtown: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Willowtown?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Willowtown from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

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

Common problems we fix in Willowtown

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
