The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes
Before booking anyone

Shower tray repair at your home in Whitson
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Whitson
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Other services in Whitson
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whitson. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
