Shower tray repair in Waterhales, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and chipped corners or rims, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Waterhales. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Waterhales
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
