Trusted shower tray repair in Wolvey

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Wolvey and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Common questions in Wolvey

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

The entire UK, including all of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Do you come to Wolvey?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wolvey and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
