Shower tray repair at your home in Whitegate
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and chipped corners or rims.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

FAQs for Whitegate
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CW8 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Whitegate. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repair or replace in Whitegate?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
