Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair at your home in Whitecross

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage from a refit or building work, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Whitecross and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Whitecross

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Whitecross and the rest of Herefordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your HR4 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you come to Whitecross?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Whitecross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Whitecross

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Whitecross

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip 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 liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Related advice

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
