About our shower tray repair in Wensley

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a cracked shower tray, across enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wensley as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

FAQs for Wensley

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Wensley

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste
