Your questions about shower tray repair in Wolborough

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

How long before I can shower?

Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Wolborough

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 repair lasts. We work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wolborough. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wolborough

If you manage property in Wolborough, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Signs you need shower tray repair in Wolborough

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
