About our shower tray repair in Higher Whitley
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Higher Whitley
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Warrington. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What affects the price in Higher Whitley
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Higher Whitley. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Higher Whitley
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Higher Whitley
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A tray that flexes
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repair or replace in Higher Whitley?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
