About our shower tray repair in Wootton

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you have a cracked shower tray and chips caused during fitting, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic alike.

In a smaller place like Wootton, many showers are in bungalows and family homes, including walk-in showers. A cracked or worn tray can be repaired without lifting it.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Wootton

I let a flat near Kempston Hardwick station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes. We repair shower trays between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.

Can you fix shower trays at a school or business in Wootton?

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Wootton

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

What affects the price in Wootton

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. If your shower tray in Wootton is sound, a repair is usually the better choice.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Common problems we fix in Wootton

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips caused during fitting

We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you look after a building such as Wootton Lower School, changing-room showers can be repaired in place too.

Choosing a repair company

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use. In a smaller place like Wootton, parking is rarely a problem. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
