What affects the price in Wheatcroft
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for Wheatcroft
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What we’re called out for in Wheatcroft
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
- Chips on the edges
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
