When to call us in Whitburn
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
Common questions in Whitburn
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of West Lothian?
The whole UK, including all of West Lothian. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Whitburn?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What affects the price in Whitburn
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
