How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Whaley Thorns?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Shower tray repair in Whaley Thorns without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Whaley Thorns

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Whaley Thorns

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whaley Thorns as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
