Whitefield: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What we’re called out for in Whitefield

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Repair or replace in Whitefield?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Whitefield. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Whitefield, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Whitefield

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
