Shower tray repair at your home in Witherwack

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Witherwack

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Witherwack

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Witherwack, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
