What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss 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 the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, 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.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not 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.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
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.
Common problems we fix in Old Whittington
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A tray that flexes
- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the entire UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Whittington
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Old Whittington
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Old Whittington?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 normally cheaper.
