Shower tray repair in Wall Nook, done in place
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 repair lasts. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Wall Nook questions
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Wall Nook?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Are there extra charges for Wall Nook?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Wall Nook
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
