Shower tray repair at your home in Whithorn
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and damage around the waste, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What else we do in Whithorn
Signs you need shower tray repair in Whithorn
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
There is 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DG8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Whithorn
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you work in Whithorn?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Whithorn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
