Common questions in Wilthorpe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How we handle shower tray repair in Wilthorpe
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We’re often asked to fix scratches in the surface and a crack across the base, in enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What affects the price in Wilthorpe
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
For a price in Wilthorpe, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilthorpe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
