How we handle shower tray repair in Whisby
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace in Whisby?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Whisby
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches in the surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Common questions in Whisby
Are there extra charges for Whisby?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Whisby. Prices do not change with location.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
