Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Shower tray repair at your home in Whisterfield
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire East and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whisterfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire shower tray
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Whisterfield questions
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
