About our shower tray repair in Wix Green

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and edge chips from dropped bottles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we are called out for in Wix Green

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.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Wix Green

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Wix Green?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wix Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Repairing versus replacing in Wix Green

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before booking

Landlord and trade work in Wix Green

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wix Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
