What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Whepstead: your questions answered
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Whepstead?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Whepstead.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

When to call us in Whepstead

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What affects the price in Whepstead
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Materials we work on in Whepstead
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Whepstead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
