Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Whitestone, Devon
Damaged shower tray in Whitestone? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Shower tray repair at your home in Whitestone
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we’re called out for in Whitestone
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
Repair or replace in Whitestone?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Whitestone: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
