Shower tray repair at your home in Whitehouse Common
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are often asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, across acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitehouse Common as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Whitehouse Common
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Whitehouse Common is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Whitehouse Common
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
