Shower tray repair in Whitmore

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Shower tray repair in Whitmore, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

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

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Whitmore

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whitmore. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Whitmore and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Whitmore

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you work in Whitmore?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Whitmore from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlord and trade work in Whitmore

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
