Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Wootton

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Wootton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

What affects the price in Wootton

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Wootton

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.
