Shower tray repair in New Whittington, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that flexes.

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

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in New Whittington

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Common questions in New Whittington

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When to call us in New Whittington

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S43 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Whittington

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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 generally cheaper.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
