Your questions about shower tray repair in Whitchurch Hill
Can tenants book a repair?

How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?

About our shower tray repair in Whitchurch Hill
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that flexes.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Whitchurch Hill
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Whitchurch Hill, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Whitchurch Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for 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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
