What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Whalley. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BB7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Whalley

Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Whalley: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you cover Whalley?

We do. We send a technician to Whalley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
