Shower tray repair in Wood Burcote

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we’re called out for in Wood Burcote

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Wood Burcote: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
