Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Whin Lane End, Lancashire
Damaged shower tray in Whin Lane End? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How we handle shower tray repair in Whin Lane End
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

What we’re called out for in Whin Lane End

- A tray that flexes

- A damaged area around the waste

Whin Lane End: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Whin Lane End included. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Whin Lane End?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
