Shower tray repair at your home in Whinney Hill
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and chips on the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Whinney Hill
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
