How we handle shower tray repair in Whiston

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, we can normally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Whiston

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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

Common questions in Whiston

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you come to Whiston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whiston. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Whiston

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

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
