Shower tray repair in Great Wilne without replacing anything

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Great Wilne questions

Will the price change on the day?

Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Great Wilne. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Wilne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Great Wilne and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Great Wilne
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
