Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Welby, Leicestershire
Shower tray repair across Welby and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Welby clients choose us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Shower tray repair in Welby without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and a damaged area around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we are called out for in Welby
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A damaged area around the waste
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Welby. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Welby: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
