How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

FAQs for Whaley

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whaley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
