Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Whitley, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Shower tray repair in Whitley, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Whitley
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Look out for these signs:
- A cracked shower tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Whitley
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
