Shower tray repair in Wherrytown, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wherrytown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Wherrytown
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic

Landlord and trade work in Wherrytown
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Wherrytown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Also in Wherrytown
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
