Shower Tray Repair for Whiteinch homes
Shower tray repair in and around Whiteinch: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
How we handle shower tray repair in Whiteinch
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for edge chips from dropped bottles and a damaged area around the waste, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Whiteinch
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Whiteinch included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
