Do you need shower tray repair in Whixley?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in Whixley?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Whixley
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO26 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
