Your questions about shower tray repair in Whitford
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Whitford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Whitford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitford
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel

Signs you need shower tray repair in Whitford
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
