Landlord and trade work in Whitegate
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Shower tray repair in Whitegate without replacing anything
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. 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
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Fixed prices from your photos

Your questions about shower tray repair in Whitegate
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Whitegate
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
