FAQs for Whitehill
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Whitehill?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you cover Whitehill?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

What affects the price in Whitehill
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Whitehill
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Whitehill
- Enamelled steel

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
