Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Whitehall
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Your questions about shower tray repair in Whitehall
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?
We cover the entire UK, including Whitehall and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
