When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on

How we handle shower tray repair in Whitehill
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Whitehill questions
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Other services in Whitehill
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Whitehill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Whitehill
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
