Shower tray repair in Wootton

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When to call us in Wootton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

How to compare quotes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Wootton

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wootton. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
