Questions from Ratcliffe on the Wreake
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Are there extra charges for Ratcliffe on the Wreake?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ratcliffe on the Wreake.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
