FAQs for Wixams
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Wixams?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wixams for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Shower tray repair at your home in Wixams
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What we’re called out for in Wixams
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
- Chipped corners or rims

Landlord and trade work in Wixams
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wixams use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bedford Borough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One price list for the whole UK

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
What affects the price in Wixams
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
