Whissendine: your questions answered
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Whissendine. Prices do not change with location.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Landlord and trade work in Whissendine
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whissendine use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic

When to call us in Whissendine
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
