Shower tray repair for Wiveliscombe homes

Shower tray repair in Wiveliscombe without replacing anything

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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we are called out for in Wiveliscombe

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Repairing versus replacing in Wiveliscombe

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What affects the price in Wiveliscombe

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wiveliscombe. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Wiveliscombe

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We do. Technicians travel to Wiveliscombe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

Do you hold any accreditations?

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
