- Repairs from £95
- A tray that flexes

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
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 can’t see.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Whitworth
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire shower tray
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlord and trade work in Whitworth
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
