Shower tray repair in Whitnage

Shower tray repair in Whitnage without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Whitnage and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Whitnage

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  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 typically usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Whitnage questions

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you come to Whitnage?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Whitnage

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whitnage. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
