Whittington questions

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Whittington included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

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

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Whittington

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whittington

For anyone letting property in or around Whittington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whittington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Whittington clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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