Landlords, agents and businesses in Whalley Banks

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

When to call us in Whalley Banks

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Common reasons people in Whalley Banks contact us include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Whalley Banks

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Whalley Banks: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Whalley Banks?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  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 day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
