Shower tray repair in Whitechapel, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Whitechapel questions
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
We cover the whole UK, including Whitechapel and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitechapel use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Whitechapel. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
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 quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
