How we handle shower tray repair in Wattlesborough Heath
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and a crack across the base.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wattlesborough Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
