How we handle shower tray repair in Wythop Mill

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and a crack across the base.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Wythop Mill

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA13 postcode.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Wythop Mill?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Signs you need shower tray repair in Wythop Mill

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
