Shower tray repair in Wootton, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, in enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Before we arrive

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

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Wootton

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wootton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Wootton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
