Shower tray repair for Winkhill homes

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Winkhill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How we handle shower tray repair in Winkhill

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, in cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Common problems we fix in Winkhill

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges
  • Damage from a refit or building work

10 questions to ask before you book

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Winkhill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Winkhill

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Winkhill. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
