Shower tray repair for Wood End homes

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How we handle shower tray repair in Wood End

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wood End and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Wood End

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area 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. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are

Common questions in Wood End

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
