Shower tray repair in White Hills without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Repairing versus replacing in White Hills

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Do you need shower tray repair in White Hills?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

White Hills questions

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

If you’re in White Hills 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.

Advice

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
