We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips on the edges, we can help, whatever the material.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Wissington

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Wissington.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wissington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Do you need shower tray repair in Wissington?

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

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. 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.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wissington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
