Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we’re called out for in Winton

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Winton: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Winton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Winton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
