Shower tray repair in Whitecross without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged area around the waste and scuffs and light scratches.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitecross as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Whitecross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When to call us in Whitecross

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, generally along the edges or by the waste.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions from Whitecross

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work in Whitecross?

We do. We send a technician to Whitecross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
