Shower tray repair in Whitley Lower, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kirklees.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Whitley Lower
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Whitley Lower, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you manage property in Whitley Lower, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Whitley Lower
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Whitley Lower?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Whitley Lower?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Repair or replace in Whitley Lower?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
