Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Spitewinter questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we are called out for in Spitewinter

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Spitewinter, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
