Shower tray repair at your home in Whorlton
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s chips on the edges and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Should you replace it?
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.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage

- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.

Common questions in Whorlton
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Whorlton?
We do. We send a technician to Whorlton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
