Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are.

What we are called out for in Whiddon

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches in the surface

  • When it can be used again

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whiddon

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Questions from Whiddon

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Whiddon?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX31 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Repair or replace in Whiddon?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
