Landlords, agents and businesses in Wheatacre

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to compare quotes

Wheatacre questions

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Enamelled steel

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep an eye on the sealant, 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.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Wheatacre

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
