About our shower tray repair in Whale Hill

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Whale Hill and across Middlesbrough.

Common problems we fix in Whale Hill

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

Staining and dullness across the tray
Cracks running from the waste
Scuffs and light scratches
Damage from a refit or building work

FAQs for Whale Hill

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for Whale Hill?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Whale Hill and the rest of Middlesbrough. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace in Whale Hill?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

The colour and finish to match
What kind of damage it is
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

The material, if you know it
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the seal every few months
Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
