About our shower tray repair in Whaplode Drove
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a damaged area around the waste, in ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Do you need shower tray repair in Whaplode Drove?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PE12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
