Shower tray repair in Wolviston

Shower tray repair at your home in Wolviston

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic alike.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

When to call us in Wolviston

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

How to compare quotes

Wolviston: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Wolviston and the rest of Stockton-on-Tees. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will the price change on the day?

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

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wolviston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months

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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
