Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair at your home in Whitehough
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Whitehough
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Common reasons people in Whitehough contact us include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. 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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.

FAQs for Whitehough
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Whitehough, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
