How we handle shower tray repair in Ringwell

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and scuffs and light scratches.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Ringwell customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
