About our shower tray repair in Walesby
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and a cracked shower tray, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

FAQs for Walesby
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before booking

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Walesby. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Walesby
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
