How we handle shower tray repair in Wolverton

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wolverton as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Wolverton questions

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

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need shower tray repair in Wolverton?

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start 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 us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wolverton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
