Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Whitwell, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Whitwell: your questions answered
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Are there extra charges for Whitwell?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Whitwell
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Store bottles off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
