Shower tray repair for Wellingore homes

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common problems we fix in Wellingore

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

Wellingore questions

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
