Trusted shower tray repair in Whitewell

Shower tray repair in Whitewell, done in place

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Whitewell customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common questions in Whitewell

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you work in Whitewell?

We do. We send a technician to Whitewell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

The entire UK, including all of Shropshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

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

What happens after I send photos?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What affects the price in Whitewell

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Whitewell

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Landlord and trade work in Whitewell

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

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.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Whitewell

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
