Need shower tray repair in Whinney Banks?

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Shower tray repair in Whinney Banks, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Whinney Banks

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Whinney Banks?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
