About our shower tray repair in Whitleigh
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whitleigh as everywhere else we work.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Whitleigh
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Look out for any of the following:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage

Questions from Whitleigh
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Whitleigh.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Landlord and trade work in Whitleigh
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitleigh as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- One price list for the whole UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
