Need shower tray repair in Worlington?

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Shower tray repair in Worlington, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. 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 we match repairs to the surface finish.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Worlington

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Worlington. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Worlington

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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 long does it take to cure?

Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we are called out for in Worlington

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.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
