Shower tray repair in Waldridge without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and chips caused during fitting, in ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What affects the price in Waldridge
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Waldridge. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Waldridge questions
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
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.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
