How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Shower tray repair in Whitcott Keysett without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and a dull, stained or worn surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Whitcott Keysett
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire shower tray
If you’re in Whitcott Keysett and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot

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 feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Whitcott Keysett: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitcott Keysett
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Whitcott Keysett
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
