Whitewood questions
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Shower tray repair in Whitewood without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitewood. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RH9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Whitewood
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add 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.
