Shower tray repair at your home in Wheatcroft
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a crack across the base and chips caused during fitting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
FAQs for Wheatcroft
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.
- 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 normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What affects the price in Wheatcroft
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wheatcroft. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
