How we handle shower tray repair in Wellow
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. 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 the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Wellow
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

FAQs for Wellow
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in Wellow?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
