Shower tray repair at your home in Whempstead
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Whempstead
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Whempstead?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Whempstead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Whempstead?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you need shower tray repair in Whempstead?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Common reasons people in Whempstead contact us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Whempstead. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
